Foam Magazine Talent Issue Launch at Unseen

As you might have noticed from our recent news posts, things are
going well at Unseen on the 'fair' side of things. Our list of participating galleries
at the inaugural edition of Unseen is increasing and we are excited to feature
these galleries in our twice-weekly gallery spotlights. What about the 'festival' side of things? The accompanying programme of events, tours, film screenings
and exhibitions is in the works, and so far highlights include the Unseen
Collection (a selection of works for a lower price to attract first-time
buyers), the Offprint Book Fair (a fair of independent photography book
publishers) and the launch of Foam Magazine’s Talent issue.

Foam
Magazine is an international photography magazine published quarterly,
co-produced by Foam Amsterdam and branding agency Vandejong. Each year, Foam Magazine dedicates its fall
issue to 15 selected young talents. A 'young talent' has been defined as “someone of a young age (18-35
years old) who has outstanding skills or abilities [and who may] indicate
developments, trends and themes that are of importance to a new generation of
artists.”

Both Unseen and Foam Magazine, especially
the Talent issue, embrace exciting and emerging developments in the world of
contemporary photography. The launch of this year's Foam Magazine Talent issue
will actually take place at Unseen, and will include a large billboard
exhibition in the surrounding Westerpark.
